Kevin joined the Marines in September 2007 after graduating from Cherokee High School. Kevin is a Landing Support Specialist in Logistics. He is also known as a \”red patcher\”. While in Afghanistan, Kevin was responsible for the movement of supplies, troops, etc. that was transported by helicopters, as well as being instrumental in the build up of Camp Dwyer. Kevin received the Afghanistan Campaign Medal, the Nato Medal, and the Sea Service Deployment Ribbon for his service. When not deployed he is stationed at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina. He is being welcomed home by is father-Brian, mother-Kathy, sister- Kelly, and brother- Brian (also a US Marine, currently deployed to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba).

The second hero is Cpl. Brian Matuleiwich of the Army National Guard. He is coming to the Worthington’s for Kevin’s homecoming, but their wish is for Brian to also be recognized. He came home from Iraq in September and never got a homecoming where he lives. He joined the Army in 1997 and was in the 25th Infantry Division until 2000. At that time, Brian joined the Army National Guard. Brian returned from a 10 month tour in Iraq in September. It was his second tour there. The first was 2003. Brian earned the following for his service: Good Conduct Medal, Iraq Expeditionary Medal, Iraq Campaign Medal, Combat Infantry Badge, Army Medal Accommodation, Overseas Service Ribbon, and the Global War on Terror Ribbon. He resides in Delaware County Pa and is in engaged to Samantha Herko. He thinks he is coming to celebrate Kevin’s homecoming, but won’t he be surprised?

Kathy and Brian Worthington are very active members of the Yellow Ribbon Club. They have much to be proud of but much to worry about too. We have waited for this day along side of our friends Kathy and Brian and now we can breathe a sigh of relief and celebrate.

Please join the Worthington Family, the Yellow Ribbon Club, Evesham Fire-Rescue, the Warriors Watch Riders and Friends, Evesham Township in welcoming home 2 great military men from their tours in fighting the war on terrorism.
